    "The Game Design Tool Kit has been designed to support conceptual game design and development activities independent of the need for software programming. Although not intended to be a primer for any specific game production tools or technical frameworks, it outlines strategies teachers can use to bridge conceptual development with technical implementation using a variety of tools and applications, such as Game Salad, Game Maker, Gamestar Mechanic, and Kodu, among others. " The frontpage includes a video discussing game design methodology at the Stanford U. Game Design Jam. This is serious educational gaming. I've downloaded Game Salad, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Registration required; inservice training sessions, and game jams are available, probably for a fee, but it looks usable out of the box.

    "We're not going into detail on what rubrics are or how to write a basic rubric (you can learn that here). What we want to do is present the process of designing rubrics through the lens of students taking ownership of their learning, and teachers becoming facilitators rather than teachers, so that their Rubrics will ROCK! So we're talking about designing rubrics as formative assessment-and not only formative, but driven by the students themselves (astute readers will also find the great Stephen Covey within this blog.)" Looks at ways to have students design their own rubrics -- great for individualizing/differentiating learning.

  • International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning (March - 2005) ISSN: 1492-3831 Andrew R. Brown Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia Bradley D. Voltz St Joseph's Nudgee College Brisbane, Australia Elements of Effective e-Learning Design Abstract Preparing and developing e-learning materials is a costly and time consuming enterprise. This paper highlights the elements of effective design that we consider assist in the development of high quality materials in a cost efficient way. We introduce six elements of design and discuss each in some detail. These elements focus on paying attention to the provision of a rich learning activity, situating this activity within an interesting story line, providing meaningful opportunities for student reflection and third party criticism, considering appropriate technologies for delivery, ensuring that the design is suitable for the context in which it will be used, and bearing in mind the personal, social, and environmental impact of the designed activities. Along the way, we describe how these design elements can be effectively utilized by contextualizing them with examples from an e-learning initiative. Keywords: e-learning, educational design, learning resource development

  • How often have you attempted to grade your students' work only to find that the assessment criteria were vague and the performance behavior was overly subjective? Would you be able to justify the assessment or grade if you had to defend it? The Rubric is an authentic assessment tool which is particularly useful in assessing criteria which are complex and subjective.

    Linked from the WebQuest page--by N. Pickett & B. Dodge. It has a short article on the why and how of rubric assessment, and also provides links to rubric-makers, a rubric template, and other online resources. "The rubric is one authentic assessment tool which is designed to simulate real life activity where students are engaged in solving real-life problems. It is a formative type of assessment because it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching and learning process. Students themselves are involved in the assessment process through both peer and self-assessment. As students become familiar with rubrics, they can assist in the rubric design process. This involvement empowers the students and as a result, their learning becomes more focused and self-directed."

    "No reliable research has ever demonstrated that instruction designated as appropriate for any "tested" learning style is effective because it matches that style. The research is missing several important control validations. For example, there are no statistically valid studies comparing the response of a mixed-learning-style control group with the results of a learning-style-matched group. To qualify as "effective," there must be support of claims that superior outcomes are the direct result of teaching to individual learning styles and not a general result to the instruction. There is no evidence that "visual learners" have better outcomes to instruction designed for "visual learners" than do mixed-style learners taught using the same instruction. Without comparison groups, the before and after results could simply mean that the particular instruction is the most effective method for teaching that specific content to all students (Pashler, et al)." Excellent blog debunking some of the neuromyths that instruction is guided by, particularly in the public school system of the U.S.

    "Many of us will have fond memories of children's TV engaging us to turn our used bottles into rockets, our wooden spoons into cartoon character puppets, and attaching googly eyes to anything which keeps still for more than 3 seconds! Schools are great at turning recycling into creativity, and design is at the heart of this. Later, the skills pupils learn turning pasta into planes and tins into trains fuel are the beginning of making the engineers and artisans of the future."
